      Hi @helliexxx
      There can be all sorts of things that can cause the heart to stop. It’s not my area of expertise.
      Sometimes a blockage in the blood vessels around the heart can lead to too much pressure being put on the heart, and this can make it stop.
      Sometimes if you over exert yourself and your body can’t cope you can have a heart attack, and this will cause the heart to stop.
      Sometimes you simply get too old, and this can cause your heart to stop.

      I hope this helps a bit.
